Today, the results of the National Student Survey 2018 were published. We’ve been working to support members with their data analysis, as well as producing our own headline analysis of the results across the United Kingdom.

As this is only the second year on the new survey, it is not possible to track long term trends with 2018’s NSS data. We can, however, look back to 2017 to see developing patterns for example overall satisfaction has dropped to 83%, from 84% in 2017 and Question 26 on students’ unions has decreased by 1 percentage point to 56%.

Our analysis also looks breaks down trends from across the UK. This showed us that students at Northern Irish and Welsh institutions are overall most satisfied with most aspects of their courses compared to the UK average, with the exception of student voice in Northern Ireland, which is just one percentage point lower than the UK average.
